Communal Tension
Telangana's Asifabad sees communal tension over tribal woman's 'sexual assault', BJP slams Congress of appeasement politics
Asifabad/IBNS: A tribal woman's alleged sexual assault by an auto driver has triggered a communal tension in Telangana's Asifabad, media reports said.
On August 31, a 45-year-old woman was sexually assaulted by an auto driver after she got into the vehicle on her way to her mother's place.
The victim had raised an alarm after Sheikh Makhdhoom tried to sexually assault her.
Out of fear, the driver hit the victim with a stick and left her when she fell unconscious thinking her to be dead.
In reaction to the incident, several social media videos showed an angry mob targeting shops and throwing stones.
